The rally against the use of the term Macedonia in a new name for FYROM will take place in the center of the Greek capital on February 4 at 14:00.

The government is wrong to pursue a solution to the name dispute with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) now, as the neighbouring country has not provided tangible evidence that is forsaking its irredentist claims, New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Wednesday, during a speech at ND's political committee. 

In statements after his meeting with FYROM Prime Minister Zoran Zaev in Davos on Wednesday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said their efforts sought to bring to the forefront "the things that unite our people and find a solution to those that divide us."
